Alarm Scene Help

[Eldar 1]

Hi,

 

I tried to modify a light scene to set a GlobalVariable "on" as long as motion is detected. When a maxTime is reached without motion the GlobalVariable should be set "off" again. That all sould only work if the GlobalVariable presence is set on false. Could you held my?

 

local light = {} -- ID's of the lights to turn on

local motion = {21, 27, 64, 76, 99} -- ID's of the Motion sensors to check if they are breached

local maxTime = 1*60 -- Maximum time the sensor should be safe before turning off (n*60 where n is minutes)

local sleepTime = 5 -- Time in seconds between each check of the Motion sensor (default = 5)

local debug_TAG = "Alarm" -- Tag for the debug messages

local presence = fibaro.getGlobalVariable("Presence")

 

 

for i in pairs(light) do 

if presence == 'false' then

fibaro.debug(debug_TAG,"Turning on Alarm for " ..maxTime .." seconds")

fibaro.setGlobalVariable('alarm', 'on')

fibaro.call(114, 'setColor', 255, 0, 0, 0)

fibaro.sleep(10)

fibaro.call(114, 'setValue', 100)

end

end

 

local safeTime = 0

while safeTime < maxTime do -- Loop until maxTime is reached

fibaro.sleep(sleepTime*1000)

safeTime=safeTime+sleepTime

fibaro.debug(debug_TAG,"Counting up safeTime " ..safeTime .." to maxTime " ..maxTime)

for i in pairs(motion) do

if fibaro.getValue(motion[i],"value") then -- Check if Motion sensors are breached

fibaro.debug(debug_TAG,"Reset by Motion sensor " ..motion[i] .." " ..fibaro.getName(motion[i]))

safeTime = 0 -- Reset safeTime to zero

end

end

end

 

for i in pairs(light) do -- Counted down to maxTime, turn off the alarm

fibaro.setGlobalVariable('alarm', 'off')

fibaro.call(114, 'setValue', 0)

end

Is your variable presence a boolean (false) or a string (“false”) ? 
 

If it is a boolean:

The light variable is empty, so

for i in pairs(light) do 

won’t do anything.

Thanks for your help. It is working now. In my HC2 I had the following scene running. Could anybody help me to convert it to HC3?
